The entire moon would be seen through the blue skies, not block out the whole blue with its white surface in front of the blue skies.
Have you ever noticed that only certain areas are bluish tinted in daylight?
They’re the very same smoother areas we see as darker in shade than the rest of the surface at night!
Why would the same smoothed areas look bluish in daylight, but darker than elsewhere at night?
Because those areas are so thin, we can see through them to blue skies in daylight, and dark skies at night.
They are translucent areas of the moon, and it’s thicker elsewhere on the surface of the moon.
If the moon is transparent, how can it's brightness light up the Earth at night, especially during a full moon, so brightly it is almost like daylight?
If it were transparent as you propose, it couldn't also be emitting or reflecting that much light, and wouldn't be visible during daylight, as the sun's brightness would wash it out.
Ofcourse, the sheeple or indoctrinated explanation as you would refer to it as, is the moon is reflecting sunlight.
The next time you see the sun and moon in the same daylight sky, imagine both are balls in the sky with the sun illuminating the moon. You will see the part of the moon in shadow is always facing away from the sun, demonstrating the sun is more than likely, shining on the moon.
I said the moon appears to be
partially translucent in those areas, but not elsewhere, the majority of the surface.
Translucent means it is partially seen through, but not entirely, which is transparent. Drapes are usually translucent to a larger degree, bath curtains are usually more translucent.
Light from the moon is certainly originating from the moon itself, based on several reasons, which show it cannot possibly be a reflection of sunlight.
In daylight, sunlight hits the waters within the firmament, or the sky to most people, either one isn’t relevant to this…
The sunlight makes our sky appear blue, only it’s not air turning blue, it is the waters above the sky which look blue.
If the moon was much further away from Earth than the skies, and the moon reflects sunlight, when behind it, somehow, or beside it at a distance, an equally amazing trick…..
Why would the moon be almost as bright as the blue skies, or even brighter at dawn? How could moonlight be a reflection of sunlight, at dawn, when skies are still dark, but the moon is bright?
You believe the air is seen blue, or blue within the air. But the moon is bright all night, and is still bright before dawn, after dawn, in dim skies.
The only time our skies look blue, is in full sunlight, while dimmer blue or dark when it’s not full.
And yes, the moon is indeed casting its own light, and it certainly is strong enough when full to brighten up the surface, reflect off our lakes and oceans, while the Sun is still far in the distance over Earth.
Hours later on, the moon - still seen -has moved over in the daylight skies, as the Sun moves in from the other side.
Yet those areas of the moon still appear blue, while the skies are a brighter blue behind and around the moon.
They claim the moon is far away, within the black of ‘space’, and always is in blackness, never in sunlight or brighter at all.
But there’s no sunlight or the Sun seen behind the moon or alongside the moon, nor anywhere seen at all. If the Sun was on the opposite side of us, then sunlight would hit through the skies above Earth before hitting the moons surface, beyond our skies. Which would make the skies blue as in daylight, but it’s clearly not.
The blue cannot be in the skies, which it’s not, it’s from the waters of the Firnament.
